Anapleus nomurai M. Ohara, 1994
Japanese name: Okayama-tsubu-emma-mushi.
Almost agrees with Anapleus nakanei, but differs by the following characters: punctation on pronotum and elytra deeper (Fig. 86C, D) than in nakanei; lateral sides of elytra not elevated; punctation of intercoxal disk of meso-, and metasternal and 1st abdominal sternum sparse, coarse and very deep, with fine punctures intermingled (Fig. 87B, C).
Body length, PPL, 2.09 - 2.13 mm (2.11 ± 0.01, n=2), PEL, 1.89 - 12.93 mm (1.91 ± 0.01, n=2). Width, 1.44 - 1.56 mm (1.50 ± 0.04, n=2). Biometric data are given in Table 26.

Remarks. This species is strikingly similar to A. nakanei, but can be distinguished easily by having two kinds of punctures on the meso- and metasterna.
This species seems to live in the litter.
